After Kansas was hit by devastating wildfires in mid-December, cattle producers were severely impacted. Some processors, such as Tyson Foods and Cargill, have donated $100,000 each in relief funds.
“Our partnership with family and independent cattle producers is important to us, and we want to do our part to help those whose lives have been affected by the devastating wildfires,” said Shane Miller, group president of Fresh Meats for Tyson Foods.
The donations were made through the Kansas Livestock Association (KLA)/Kansas Livestock Foundation. T
